About our Board of Trustees

The Board of Trustees is the governing group of the school. It is made up of elected parents, staff representative, the Principal, and any members co-opted by the Board.

The Board’s job is to:

Formulate and monitor the policies that the school will operate under.
Oversee the maintenance of the school’s buildings and grounds.
Oversee and approve expenditure.
Approve staff appointments and act on personnel issues within legal requirements.
Monitor the effectiveness of the school’s service.

The Board of Trustees is elected every three years. The new Board was elected took office on 17th September 2025. The Board welcomes feedback from other parents, and welcomes people to attend its monthly meetings, which are on the 3rd Monday of each month at 5:30 p.m.

Some key messages:

The Board has a responsibility to govern the school effectively.
The Principal is a member of the Board of Trustees and there is also a staff representative. This is important as we all work in partnership. The primary concern of the Board is student learning and they ensure that all Board policies, practices and plans are focused on high levels of student achievement.
The Board meets once a month for a full Board of Trustees meeting. This is a public meeting and anyone from our community can attend. During each month there are also sub-committee meetings for property, community planning, finance and policies.
Our Board is committed to representing the parents’ and community voice.

Annual Financial Statement

Our school has SchoolDocs, a website for our policies and procedures. This site is live and available to our school community.
The school works on a subscription basis with SchoolDocs to maintain, update, and review our policies. SchoolDocs provides us with a comprehensive core set of policies which have been well researched and follow the Ministry of Education National Administration Guidelines. The policies and procedures are tailored to our school, and the school supplies specific information such as our charter, and procedures for behaviour management, reporting to parents, etc.
SchoolDocs updates, modifies, or creates policies in response to changes in legislation or Ministry guidelines, significant events, reviews/requests from schools, and regular reviewing from the SchoolDocs team. Our board of trustees has the opportunity to view changes/additions and comment on them before they are implemented. We will advise you when policies are up for review and how you can take part in the review in the newsletter.
